Lee in 1829, eventually becoming connected with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. This duty took him to most parts of Florida, especially the West Coast, during the efforts of the Government to drive out the Indians. In retrospect not an admirable action, but at the time, considered justified and a matter of duty.<br />In 1856 a costal map from Tampa south was formulated mostly from Captain Casey’s detailed notes and sketches, which proved to be amazingly accurate and perhaps responsible for the Key having been named after him.<br /><br />Casey Key remained a garden spot with wild game and fish in abundance. It was the latter that lured the first settlers from Osprey, across the bay to the Key. Like most of the first fine families who had land grants up and down the mainland coast across from the Key, they were excellent fishermen. Casey Key is grateful for its few remaining old homes.<br /><br />From then on the Key’s growth was gradual and healthy: friends of friends coming to share the lush, tropical green foliage and the white sand of the unspoiled beaches. About 1917, a resident of the Key attempted to promote a real estate development by changing the name Casey Key to Treasure Island. As an enterprise it failed, but resulted in quite q bit of good-natured feudin’ and figtin’—“Casey Key” versus “Treasure Island”—in later years, as the nom de plume lingered on.<br /><br />In September, 1921, a terrific hurricane arbitrarily gave approximately two-and-one-half-miles of north Casey Key to Siesta Key by moving the then existing pass just south of Point of Rocks to its present location where it is said, Nature, at midnight, with its frightening force, finally finished. This geographic change started a series of still unsettled litigations between the two Keys as to whose land was where and who owned what.<br /><br />At the south end of the Key the story was different. Because of the shifting sands of Casey’s Pass, there was more portage than navigation, so some energetic citizens in that part of Venice known as Higelville, along with interested people from Laurel and Nokomis, successfully dug a channel to the Gulf with manpower alone. It was not until the Thirties that the Army Corps of Engineers built the first Jetties.<br /><br />The Herron Group, Nick Herron and Kathleen Herron have four properties that were built back in the 1940’s. All are on very different locations on the Key. Three are Gulf front properties and one is Gulf to Bay.<br /><br />Our newest listing is <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/615-casey-key-rd.php">615 Casey Key Road</a> a Gulf Front home that was built for the Grandmother( who has passed away) as a wedding gift and has been in the family for over sixty years.<br /><a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">The Herron Group</a>, <a href="mailto:nickherron@comcast.net">Nick Herron</a> and <a href="mailto:kathleenherron@comcast.net">Kathleen Herron</a> would love to show you some of the Casey Key history.

Well one of those opportunities has just begun: Snook season just started on Tuesday, September 1st.<br /><br />Snook are one of Florida’s most sought after game fish. Also known as “linesiders”, they are easily identified by their distinct lateral line along their sides. They can reach lengths up to 4 feet and can weigh more than 50 pounds. Snook are highly regarded as one of the top eating fish in Florida. But you will not find them on restaurant menus…it is illegal to buy and sell Snook.<br /><br />If you want to eat Snook, you have to catch it yourself, or have a good neighbor. My former neighbor on Casey Key Kenny Reutlinger (who has now passed away) would go fishing off his dock at two or three in the AM. He would be knocking on my door the next morning with plate in hand with a Snook all prepared and ready to go in the oven. Now that is the way I like to fish for Snook.<br /><br />Snook can be a hard fish to catch. You need to use a long leader, because once hooked they will turn fast and cut your line. Snook prefer shrimp and come around the docks looking for shrimp especially when your Snook light is attracting shrimp and other bait fish at night. The Herron Group has two listings for wonderful Snook fishing. One is <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/321064.htm">2108 Casey Key</a> it is a Gulf to Bay property on Casey Key with good boating water. The other is <a href="http://www.srqmediabank.com/gallery.php?gal_id=279">7785 Manasota Key</a> which is a Bay Front on Manasota Key. It has a large covered dock and open slip. Both properties have a Snook light.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.snookfoundation.org/">The Snook Foundation</a>, founded by William R.

The storm quickly moved west and gained strength, becoming a Tropical Storm by early morning on Tuesday, August 10<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>. By afternoon, Charley had organized into a hurricane, becoming the third of the 2004 Atlantic Season.<br /><br />Gradually moving over the Gulf of Mexico, Charley rapidly intensified the morning of Friday, August 13<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>. By 2 pm that afternoon, Charley was upgraded to a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds reaching over 145 mph.<br /><br />Charley’s erratic path made it difficult to determine where it would make landfall. Initial reports expected the storm to hit somewhere near Tampa, but at approximately 5 pm, the storm veered. The wrath of Charley made landfall near Charlotte Harbor, damaging the coastal cities of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Punta</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gorda</span> and Port Charlotte. The storm followed along the Peace River corridor, devastating the small towns of Arcadia, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Zolfo</span> Springs, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Sebring</span>, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Wauchula</span>. Charley continued along the path through Orlando and eventually made its way out of Florida at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Daytona</span> Beach, emerging as a Category 1 storm.<br /><br />Hurricane Charley is considered the 5<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> costliest hurricane in US history. It attributed to over $5 billion in property damage and $285 billion in agricultural damage in the state of Florida. Charlotte County saw the most damage with over 80% of its buildings destroyed including hospitals, schools, the local airport, and hundreds of homes. <br /><br />As we look back on this day, we know it is nearly impossible to be fully prepared for the destruction left by a natural disaster, but there are steps we can take to minimize that destruction.

Built along the bayfront in 1968 and partly funded by a bequest from Lewis and Eugenia Van Wezel, the hall brings a wide range of first-class performances and artists to the Sarasota community.<br /><br />The hall opened its doors in 1970 with a performance of Fiddler on the Roof. Since then, a host of Broadway shows, world-class symphony orchestras, top national and international performers, and an array of dance troupes have performed to meet the theatrical needs of Sarasota’s residents and visitors.<br /><br />The Van Wezel’s unique design and color have helped in making the building a Sarasota landmark. The seashell design was the brainchild of William Wesley Peters, an architect with Taliesin Associated Architects of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and the lavender and purple color scheme was the idea of Wright’s widow, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright. The 1,736-seat hall also offers a spectacular dining opportunity at Michael’s at the Van Wezel, the delectable cuisine of Michael’s on the East in a fabulous dinner buffet.<br /><br />There are still many great shows to catch in the 2009 season, including Kathy Griffin Live (appearing Aug. 14th), Camelot, Avenue Q, and the Moscow Ballet performing The Nutcracker, and the 2010 season has a wonderful calendar already booked.<br /><br />The Van Wezel is located along Sarasota’s beautiful Bayfront and easily accessible from any of the <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Downtown Sarasota Condos</a> or <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">barrier islands</a>.<br /><br /><a href="mailto:nickherron@comcast.net">Nick Herron</a> & <a href="mailto:kathleenherron@comcast.net">Kathleen Herron</a> of the Herron Group would be glad to show you any of <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/downtownsarasotacondos.htm">the Downtown Condos</a> or any of the properties listed on Sarasota’s Barrier Island of <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Longboat Key</a>, <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Lido Key</a>, <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Bird Key</a>, Siesta Key, Casey Key or Manasota Key.

These islands are known as the “keys” and include the islands of Longboat Key, Lido Key, Bird Key, Siesta Key, Casey Key, and Manasota Key.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/sarasota-barrier-islands.htm#longboat-key">Longboat Key</a> and <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Lido Key</a> are the northernmost barrier islands in Sarasota County. They are known for their pristine, private access beaches and world-class shopping and dining at St. Armand’s Circle which lies midway between the two keys. <br /><a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Bird Key</a> lies just east of Lido Key and is home to one of the most exclusive residential communities in the country.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Siesta Key</a> is the most well-known of the Sarasota barrier islands. This 8-mile island is known worldwide for its white sandy beach-made of 99% pure quartz, it is always cool and soft to the touch. Siesta Key Beach has made the top ten of Dr. Beach’s “Best Beaches in America” list for three straight years, coming in second place in 2009. Siesta Key Village offers shopping and dining in a laid-back atmosphere.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Casey Key</a> lies just south of Siesta, but has a very different feel. Casey Key is “Old Florida” at its best. A canopy of tropical trees and Australian pines cover the winding road that leads you to luxurious homes, quaint inns, and beautiful beaches.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Manasota Key</a> is the southernmost barrier island and lies off the coast of Englewood. It is home to four wonderful beaches each offering much to do. Two thirds of Manasota Key is in Sarasota County and the South third is in Charlotte County. Manasota Beach boasts 14-acres of sandy dunes along the Gulf of Mexico and offers sheltered tables, barbecue pits, boardwalks, and bathhouse facilities. Blind Pass Beach has over 60 acres of nature trails and is great for fishing and swimming. Englewood Beach has a concession stand, picnic tables, and recreation areas and is located close to local restaurants and shops. Stump Pass Beach is a narrow strip of beach, great for anglers and water sports enthusiasts. The north end of <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Manasota Key</a> offers private homes on one-acre lots.<br /><br /><a href="mailto:nickherron@comcast.net">Nick Herron</a> & <a href="mailto:kathleenherron@comcast.net">Kathleen Herron</a> of the Herron Group would be glad to show you any of the properties listed on <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/sarasota-barrier-islands.htm">Sarasota’s Barrier Island</a> of <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Longboat Key</a>, <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Lido Key</a>, <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Bird Key</a>, <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Siesta Key</a>, <a href="about:blank" target="_blank">Casey Key</a>, and <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Manasota Key</a> Call 941.350.5035.<br /><br /> <a href="about:blank" target="_blank">Beach, Bay or Back Nine…Live the Dream</a>Sarasota Barrier Island Real Estatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06733415402620636560noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193401871823567535.post-43476284513438283132009-07-08T17:32:00.007-04:002009-07-08T17:57:42.405-04:00Explore the Secret of the Seas at Mote Aquarium<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3S42FkmebWJXGLF2Czvk06QcZ5QGExxaBhzI2ECwrVDycg9WmLocfzyV-_hBrRzJYZEBuc5CGsWOwwQmxBT8lFn0oekE382bnbdtLL6vVIJ8wtBE9Vm7-HdMnmBa2H0i4MdXd8aGHnqLQ/s1600-h/aqland.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 305px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 220px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356210699210793970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3S42FkmebWJXGLF2Czvk06QcZ5QGExxaBhzI2ECwrVDycg9WmLocfzyV-_hBrRzJYZEBuc5CGsWOwwQmxBT8lFn0oekE382bnbdtLL6vVIJ8wtBE9Vm7-HdMnmBa2H0i4MdXd8aGHnqLQ/s400/aqland.jpg" /></a><br /><div>For anyone visiting the Sarasota area, <a href="http://www.mote.org/index.php?src=gendocs&link=Aquarium&category=Aquarium">Mote Aquarium</a> is a must-see.

Mote allows you to explore the secrets of the sea with touch pools, shark, dolphin, manatee and sea turtle exhibits and over 100 other species of marine life. </div><br /><div>Mote visitors can learn about the ocean’s top predators and shark research at the Shark Habitat, a 135,000-gallon tank with nurse sharks, bull sharks, blacktips, and sandbar sharks – among others. At Shark Tracker, visitors take on the role of Mote scientists and learn how sharks are tracked in the wild or find out what it’s like to be a shark in the exciting 12-minute movie at Shark Attack Theater.<br /></div><div>A favorite for children, the Aquarium has two touch pools: at Contact Cove, get close to horseshoe crabs, sea stars, and sea urchins and at the Ray Touch Pool you can touch sting rays with no worries – their barbed tails have been removed.</div><br /><div>Now the main attraction: The Ann and Alfred Goldstein Marine Mammal Research and Rehabilitation Center where visitors can see resident manatees Hugh and Buffett, loggerhead and green sea turtles, and resident dolphins, Harley and Moonshine.</div><br /><div>When your visit to Mote Aquarium has ended, take a ride over to St. Armand’s Circle for some fine<a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/shopping.htm"> shopping </a>and <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/dining.htm">dining.</a></div><br /><br /><div>According to My Florida Regional Multiple Listing Service here are the figures for Longboat & Lido Keys:</div><br /><div><strong>Longboat Key Single Family Homes</strong> for Sale there are 164 Active Listings priced from $179,900 to $9,995,000.

They take the best in various types of cooking styles and serve them up with a hometown feel.<br /><br />Housed in a diner-style building on Tamiami Trail South in <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/index.htm">Nokomis</a>, a short distance from Casey Key this little-known gem is anything but “diner style”. Once you get past the building and its dirt parking lot you will find some of the most outstanding food in Sarasota County.<br /><br />The dining area is small but its charm is immediately felt with the vintage photos and memorabilia from the area. The food is nothing short than amazing. Chef/owner David Arbuckle is a <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/index.htm">Nokomis</a> native who left the area to become an award-winning chef. His wife, Rofie, is from Indonesia, and though fairly new to the restaurant business, adds her signature to the menu with her wonderful egg rolls, coconut milk shrimp curry, jasmine rice, and traditional rendang (a beef stew).<br /><br />Between Rofie’s Indonesian dishes and Chef David’s creativeness with the more traditional favorites such as meatloaf, lamb chops, and crab cakes, this is a restaurant not be missed.<br /><br />West of Curry Creek Café are several bay front homes on Sunrise, Sunset, and at the end of Sunrise in the Anchorage a gated enclave of homes. There are currently seven homes listed for sale priced from $795,000 to $3,475,000.

Situated on the <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/sarasota-barrier-islands.htm#casey-key">Barrier Island of Casey Key</a>, you will experience all that living along the Gulf of Mexico has to offer at Nokomis Beach and the Jetties.<br /><br />Nokomis beach encompasses 22 acres with 1,700 feet on the Gulf and 3,200 feet on the Intracoastal with a laid back feel offering amenities such as:<br /><br />• New Pavilion hosting restrooms and a snack bar serving sandwiches and cold drinks.<br />• Deck and boardwalk leading to beach and picnic shelters.<br />• Playground<br />• Boat ramp<br /><br />For a fun free event on Wednesday and Saturday evenings you will find many locals and visitors gathering approximately an hour before sunset for the <a href="http://www.nokomisbeachdrumcircle.com/">Drum Circle.</a> A collection of dancers and drummers will entertain you and encourage you to feel the rhythm and participate in the fun!<br /><br />Towards the southern tip of Casey Key you will find the North Jetty Park which is family oriented with something for everyone to enjoy. From fishing on the jetty to walking along the beautiful coastline searching for shells, you will experience relaxation with breathtaking views of the turquoise Gulf and Intracoastal Waterway.<br /><br />No worries if you run out of bait, the “Fish Camp”, conveniently located along the jetty rocks offers live bait as well as cold beverages and snacks. Many boaters often stop here as they veer through the channel on their way out into the Gulf of Mexico. “Beggar” the dolphin is frequently spotted within this area, bopping from boat to boat looking as cute as can be in search of handouts. But please don’t feed or touch him, it’s against the law!<br /><br />At certain times of the year, especially during hurricane season, the North Jetty is known as a popular surfing spot. Surfers come as far as across state to ride the swells created from distant storms.<br /><br />Being one of the less crowed beaches within Sarasota County, Nokomis beach is a true retreat to experience Old Florida’s true beauty!<br /><br /><a href="mailto:nickherron@comcast.net">Nick Herron</a> & <a href="mailto:kathleenherron@comcast.net">Kathleen Herron</a> of the <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">Herron Group </a>would be glad to show you any of the properties listed on <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/sarasota-barrier-islands.htm">Sarasota’s Barrier Island of Casey Key</a>.

Mote Marine Laboratory’s Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Program staff and volunteers continue to tag and monitor these wonderful creatures, and it’s interesting to watch the satellite tracking of named turtles such as Bitsy, Chemen, Chompy, Ruth, Wham, and more. Visit <a href="http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/?project_id=339">Casey Key Loggerheads</a> to see the satellite tracking of our “seasonal” aquatic residents on Casey Key. </div><br /><div><br />We have to remember that people and lights from homes can disorient female turtles; so we do our best to keep things quiet and serene if we spot a loggerhead. Once they arrive, the little hatchlings eventually move to sea at night as protection against predators, and they instinctively move toward the lightest sky. Before development, the lightest sky was over the ocean, with moonlight reflecting on the water. We’re doing our best to help the little loggerheads survive by keeping things dark around here at night.</div><br /><div><br />So where do these hatchlings end up? We wondered, too, so we did a little homework. Here’s what we found out:</div><br /><div><br />“During the first year after hatching, many species of sea turtles are rarely seen. This first year is known as the "lost year." Researchers generally agree that most hatchlings spend their first few years living an oceanic existence before appearing in coastal areas. Although the migratory patterns of the young turtles during the first year has long been a puzzle, most researchers believe that they ride prevailing surface currents, situating themselves in floating seaweed where they are can find food.” (From <a href="http://www.seaworld.org/animal-info/Animal-Bytes/animalia/eumetazoa/coelomates/deuterostomes/chordata/craniata/reptilia/testudines/sea-turtles.htm#ff2">Busch Gardens fun facts</a>.)<br /><br />Our sea turtle nesting season adds a spectacular natural dimension to living on <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/area.htm">Casey Key, Florida</a>, where we enjoy the wildness of the Gulf of Mexico, the beauty of the beach and bay, native plants, palm trees, sea breezes, and ever so glorious sunsets.<br />To make your nest on Casey Key, or simply to buy or sell your <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/neighborhoods.htm">Sarasota real estate</a>, call 800-789-6580 or email <a href="mailto:nickherron@comcast.net">Nick Herron </a>or <a href="mailto:kathleenherron@comcast.net">Kathleen Herron</a> with <a href="http://www.caseykey-real-estate.com/">The Herron Group, RE/MAX Alliance Group</a>.

Residents of Casey Key are enjoying Sarasota's perfect weather for beach walking. We've had some nice rains and fall is in the air especially early morning. The breeze from the Gulf is wonderful and worries just seem to disappear when walking on the beach.<br /><br />Listening to CNBC on whether to stay in the market, get out of the market can be mind boggling! Snuffy and I headed to Casey Key to see the Herrons and took a long walk on the beach. It does wonders for back pain and brain freeze. Collect shells or sea glass or just wander. The sounds of waves crashing on the shore, sea gulls fluttering above and pelicans diving for their dinner are comforting too. An hour into your walk, you are starving and ready to stop at the Casey Key Fish House for lunch or the new deli on Blackburn Point Road.<br /><br />If you are interested in purchasing a Casey Key home for a getaway, email Nick Herron to be added to our showing schedule.
